Hong Yang (c.), seen leaving Brooklyn Federal Court after her arraignment in December, has been indicted for customs fraud and making a false statement about the goods she was bringing into the U.S. She previously was also accused of trying to bribe a customs officer with sex.

The Brooklyn U.S. Attorney's office has dropped a claim that the ex-wife of a wealthy Chinese industrialist offered sex to a Customs & Border Protection officer in exchange for letting her pass through Kennedy Airport with $160,000 in undeclared designer goods, the Daily News has learned.

Hong Yang, 51, was arrested last month on the shocking charge that she offered to "sleep with" the customs officer, in addition to trying to bribe him with $10,000 and a wristwatch, according to the criminal complaint.

But last week a grand jury indicted Yang only for customs fraud and making a false statement about the goods she was bringing into the U.S. after returning from a shopping trip in Paris, court records show.

Yang's lawyer said she barely speaks English and has maintained that the sex bribe charge was ridiculous.

"Hong Yang should never have been charged with bribery," the lawyer, Robert Gottlieb, told The News. "The government's decision to charge her with bribery without any justification subjected her and her family to unwarranted public humiliation. The arrest was a disgrace."

But the feds still have the goods on her — and want to keep them. The indictment seeks forfeiture of the designer handbags and wallets from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Yves St. Laurent, and Hermes, as well as jewelry and clothes from Cartier and Dior.

A spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office declined to comment.

Yang is free on $250,000 bail. Her daughter who accompanied her at the airport was not charged.
